I've broken a few knives. I broke the tip of my spyderco native accidently. I broke a kabar and that really made me upset. I bought it like a year and a half ago right before I came over here thinking good enough for veitnam good enough for me. So we were on patrol up a mountain on the Pak border and my buddie says let me see your knife to cut some 550 cord well he dropped it and it fell for about 15 or twenty feet and bounced of some rocks when I went down to get it it was broken in half at the center of the blade a clean break. I was really mad so I emailed kabar and they said sure pay the 20 dollars shipping and well take a look at it and send you another one. Well it wasn't worth it to me and so I tried out scrapyard and I'm never turnin back.
